'Tucker provides us with important insights into the composition and purpose of Crespin's martyrology. Analyzing a range of editions, he shows how the sufferings of past heretics were re-crafted to bolster the Reformed cause as well as to indicate its antecedents. It provides a valuable contribution towards understanding how faiths responded to persecution in the early modern period.' Andrew Spicer, Oxford Brookes University, UK
